This is the fourth consecutive year that EK has achieved a place on the Inc. 5000. Of the tens of thousands of companies that have applied to the Inc. 5000 over the years, only a fraction have made the list more than once, let alone four times in a row. In addition to being listed as one of the country’s fastest growing companies, EK was also included again this year on Inc’s list of the best workplaces in the country.

“Our fourth consecutive year on this list is a great achievement for EK, and one that belongs to each member of our growing team” said Zach Wahl, CEO of EK. “What is most important to me is that we’ve successfully sustained our culture of kindness and collaboration as we’ve grown.” 

Joe Hilger, EK COO added, “Our growth means greater depth and breadth of capabilities to serve our clients, continuing to work at the intersection of Knowledge Management, Advanced Technologies, and Enterprise Artificial Intelligence.”

“The 2021 Inc. 5000 list feels like one of the most important rosters of companies ever compiled,” says Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc. “Building one of the fastest-growing companies in America in any year is a remarkable achievement. Building one in the crisis we’ve lived through is just plain amazing. This kind of accomplishment comes with hard work, smart pivots, great leadership, and the help of a whole lot of people.”
